According to court documents, Jennifer Marie Velasquez, aka Jennifer Gamez, is being charged with possession of a fictitious or counterfeit insurance certificate, aggregate theft and having an unauthorized insurance business.

The Houston Police Department Major Offenders Division told Chron.com the 34-year-old was allegedly targeting primarily Spanish-speaking and foreign people who may have been undocumented immigrants with the belief they would likely not report her.

Velasquez worked with AAAA Insurance in southwest Houston where she was the only Spanish-speaking employee, police said, alleging that allowed her to get away with fraud.

Police allege she had various schemes, but her most prominent one offered a lower quote to the victim as long as they paid an up-front down payment, which Velasquez then pocketed.

HPD also said that she has upwards of 200 complaints against her, but the number was lowered to 150 to be conservative since many of her victims left the country or don't want to cooperate.

She is being investigated by the Texas Department of Insurance Fraud. Anyone who bought insurance from Velasquez is being asked to call 1-800-252-3439.

Court documents show Velasquez is out on bond. She is due back in Harris County court on April 18.
